Borderline Sci-Fi/Fantasy

All sci-fi movies which have too many fantasy elements/unexplained phenomenae to classify properly as science fiction.

I actually really want to say it's over rated - simply because everyone raves about it so much, when the truth is we've just been missing a decent dark fantasy for a looooooooong time. Really good, grown up, fable.

I loved this film. And not just because of my obligatory Spanish Civil War obsession. For one thing, it depicted extreme violence without cheapening human life. Except for the one necessary and extremely satisfying instance, I could feel every blow and every bullet as if it were hitting me.

It was a dark fairytale with a moral and historical context. And it looked marvelous. It was not without its flaws- a certain glaring plothole/ unrealistic act of idiocy comes to mind- but it was a marvelous piece of work.

Do you think this is better then Henson's "Labyrinth"? for me, HELL YES! without being overly sweet or fruity like that one. This had the personality of such dark fantasy movies like "Dark Crystal" or "Return to Oz" or something from Burton.
